As President Biden considers putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, a group has emerged with several other proposals to put women on bills.
The British information firm Merchant Machine called for putting Vice President Kamala Harris on the $100 bill, media big Oprah Winfrey on the $50 bill, and tennis champ Serena Williams on the $10 bill.

In a proposal shared with Secrets, the goal of the group called for an international campaign to put more successful women on currency besides Queen Elizabeth II.

From leading us through the COVID-19 pandemic, fighting for climate change, dominating the music and athletic spaces, and revolutionizing the political landscapes, these are the women making modern history," said the firm.
So much for referring to money as “dead presidents”. :)
The more men are removed from society, the more we can fishing.
Let’s do this!!!
Chelsea Clinton would be perfect—born on third base and thinks she hit a triple—daughter of a de facto royal family aka criminal enterprise.
Ma Barker would be kinda cool, too!
2 bit.......
2 bit.......
Taylor Swift should be on the $2 dollar bill with the corner torn off.
You are on the right track—we can become Africa—the men sitting around all day while the women do all the work!
Well that would be one way to get us to a cashless society.
Now there’s an incentive to go cashless, much as I object to it. You don’t have to look at their mugs.
Why not just use monopoly money instead?
Kardashian butt on the back of the $2 bill!
I think there’s a law that states nobody’s likeness can be on stamps or money until they are dead.................
I’m on the fence on this one.
Another reason to go digital.
NO, no, no. Klamidia Horrass goes on a quarter.
“Who gave you a quarter?”
“Everybody.”
When Republicans get control of Congress maybe they could put Trump on all the bills. I’m sure they would love that.
‘The more men are removed from society, the more we can fishing.’
eh...?
They do that and I will stop using cash. Or I will simply ask for all my change to be in $1 and $5 denominations, and that’s all I will carry. Not just being snarky, I would seriously do this.
